Featherstone Rovers confirm departure of ex-Hull KR man Kyle Trout

Featherstone Rovers have parted ways with one of their squad members.

The West Yorkshire club confirmed this afternoon that Kyle Trout has left the club immediately.

Featherstone released a statement saying: “The Club can confirm that Kyle Trout has agreed to leave the Club with immediate effect. Despite Kyle’s best efforts, he has unfortunately been unable to maintain a starting position in what is a very strong and squad, it was therefore agreed by both parties that Kyle kickstarts his career elsewhere. We wish Kyle all the very best for the future.”

The 30-year-old previously played for Featherstone on dual registration terms in 2014 and 2015 when he was with Wakefield Trinity, and went on to sign a permanent deal.

After starting out at Wakefield, Trout had two spells at Dewsbury Rams and a short spell at Sheffield Eagles.

His form at Dewsbury earned a return to Super League with Hull KR in 2019, though he was released at the end of 2020 and signed for French side Limoux Grizzlies.

Trout returned to England on a loan deal with the Newcastle Thunder before linking up once more with Rovers.

It has not been revealed where Trout’s next destination will be, but he has a wealth of Championship experience.
